At the latest QCon, Christian Weyer presented on Windows Communication Foundation, (WCF), with a slightly different slant. In the presentation Christian provides the full source code to a complete end-to-end .NET 3.x application using WCF. Beginning with the four tenets of Service Orientation:
- Boundaries are explicit
- Services are Autonomous
- Share Schema & Contract
- Communication Based on Policy
Christian asks architects to focus on their overall architecture and service orientation. He lists out the many hotspots when designing service oriented communication:
- Contract Design
- Bindings
- WCF duplex and callbacks
- Streaming
- Hosting
- Proxy handling
- Interoperability
- Threading
- Data Access
- Unit and Load Testing
- Debugging
Christian then focuses on WCF contract modelling, WCF Binding Selection and finishes with guidance around WCF hosting. Enjoy this exclusive QCon presentation brought to you by InfoQ.
